Overview

A summer festival long loved by the people of Hoga town, now in its 53rd year. Stalls open with the festival at 17:30, and the market bustle carries through the evening. As the sun sets, the fireworks segment begins: starmine bursts and rapid-fire volleys follow one another over the mountain valley — a community-sustained event, faithful to its long local history. The venue, Hoga General Sports Park's parking lot, is about 40 minutes from Yamazaki IC on the Chugoku Expressway via Route 29 toward Tottori. Free parking for about 240 cars is available at the Hoga civic office lot and other sites. Because the shell count will be announced once decided, confirm the day's program through the organizers (Haga Festival committee, based at the Shiso City Chamber of Commerce northern branch).
